IMPROVEMENT IN CULTIVATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 30,119, dated September 25, 1860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, T. E. O. BRINLY, of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Combination of a Plow, Harrow, and Cultivator; and I do hereby declare that the followin g is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention as a plow; Fig. 2, a perspective view of my invention as a shovel-plow; Fig. 3, a perspective'view of my invention as a harrow; Fig. 4., a perspective view of my invention as a cultivator. Fig. 5 is a plan View of my improvement.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.

A represents a plow-beam, and B B handles attached thereto.

G,Fig.1,is a standard attached to the beam, and D is an ordinary mold-board and share attached to the standard. When the mold-board D is not required an ordinary shovel-share, E, may be employed, as shown in Fig. 2, the share E being attached to a separate foot or standard, F, which may be secured to the beam, as usual. The standards 0 F should be so arranged that they may be readily attached to and detached from the beam.

To the front end of the beam A a clevis, G, is attached. This clevis may be of the usual or any proper construction.

H H represent two wings or arms,whieh may be of slightly curved form. These wings or arms may be of wood, and at their front ends metal plates at a are secured, said plates projectingin frontof the wings or arms, so that they may extend overand under the beam A, overlap each other, and form a joint by having a. pin, 1), passing vertically through them and through the beam. The wings or arms H H are placed one at each side of the beam, as

To the wings or arms H H cultivator-shares J are attached, said shares being secured to feet or standards K, which are secured to the back parts of the arms or wings. To the latter there may be also attached harrow-teeth L.

When the implement is used as a cultivator a cultivator-share, M, is employed, the latter beingattached to the same foot F as the shovel' share E.

N N are two wings or arms, which are attached at their front ends to the beam A by a pin, 0, precisely in the same way as the wings or arms H H, one attached to the beam A. The wings or arms N have attached to them curved bars 0, which pass through a mortise, f, in the beam, overlap each other, are perforated,and have a pin,g, passing through them at any desired point to secure-the wings or arms at the proper distance apart. The arrangement of the wings or arms N N is precisely the same as that of' the wings or arms H H. The former, however, are longer than the latter, are attached nearer the front end of the beam, and have harrow-teeth P inserted in a perfect adjustable cultivator is obtained, and

by detaching the arms H and applying the arms N N a harrow is obtained. By removing one of the cultivator wings or arms H a doubleshovel plow is obtained.

The implement as a whole is extremely simple and efficient, and may be afforded at a much less price than the aggregate cost of the three separate implements now required.

I do not claim separately any of the withindesoribed parts; but

I do claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination and arrangement of the plow-beam A, provided with removable feet or standards D G F, and the two pairs of adjustable wings or arms H H N N, provided respectively with the shares J and teeth L, as and for the purposes herein set forth.
